The 2nd Best Rivalry

Try saying "rivalry week" ten times fast. It's Dean Stephens least favorite time of year; the 4th Saturday in November. Let's assume the USC-Clemson rivalry is the best rivalry in the state. What about the 2nd best? I know you've been thinking of this exhilerating topic, too. Here are some possibilities to ponder:
Furman vs Wofford football
Paladins and Terriers have proximity on their side. They've also played some meaningful games the past few years
Citadel vs Furman football
Used to be better than it is, let's face it the Paladins have won 7 of the last 8 in the series
Newberry vs Presbyterian football
The Bronze Derby has to be in the top 5.....but with PC going D-1aa we may not see the rematch for quite some time. For the record the Blue Hose won the game in November so the bragging rights stay in Clinton.
USC Vs Clemson basketball
The game this year was overshadowed by Steve Spurrier's contract extension.
USC Vs Clemson baseball
I'd put this #2 right now for a few reasons. They are, of course, natural rivals and the two programs are in the top 5 in the country. Games are sold out whether they're played in 40 degree weather or 70 and sunny. When they played twice at the College World Series in 2002 the rest of America got a taste of the rivalry.
Citadel vs CofC basketball
The rest of the state would disagree and even Ed Conroy admits it's tough to call it much of a rivalry when the CofC has won the last 9 meetings. When the game is at the Citadel at least the atmosphere is special. The best seat in the house is on the baseline by the cadets. This month was pretty tame for the corps but you'll usually find some good homemade signs and plenty of homemade "slogans".
Can't wait to see if our new co-anchor Victoria Hansen can say "rivalry week"...tune in next November. In the meantime feel free to pass on some rivalry ideas.
